Ok so after seeing all these audio build I decided to try my hand on one. The car is practically brand new and now did the first service so there won’t be much modification towards getting the warranty void. Might be a bit boring but still worth a try.

1. Why no dampening? there are endless gaping spaces in your door; unless you're not expecting any midbass in your front stage.2. Great idea using plug n play harnesses, but please don't use those god-awful butt-splice connectors. Take some time and practice your solder/heatshrink skills.3. Where are you mounting the tweeters? off/on-axis?4. Any plans for additional processing?5. Prime and repaint the speaker opening you grinded.

Other than that, good luck with the build. I'm subscribed.

1. As I said the car is brand new and air tight so not going to interfere with the door for damping (probably later on if needed) 2. Change to these connectors instead

3. Tweeters On the doors. You will see later on the in the build.... no rush jus relax and enjoy... 4. No processing right now (money done)5. That will be done.

There are usually holes at the bottom of the door to let water out as it runs down the glass.... And well all those plastic clips aren't meant to seal of air either... So air can get in and out... Water Can potentially wet the back of the speaker.

There is a shield that sells for the speakers preventing them for getting wet. I have never met any that got wet though. Humidity may be an issue in there hence car audio speakers having treated cones.

I was thinking that same thing But when you close the door you does feel a tickle in your ear so that why I say it was air tight
